After helping to thwart Hydra, Coulson was appointed as Director and tasked with rebuilding the agency. This won’t be an easy job to accomplish with the majority of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents either killed, secretly working for Hydra or free agents. Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), expert pilot, martial artist and longtime friend, will continue to look after Coulson in the wake of the mysterious etchings he’s been carving into walls. What do these etchings mean, and can Coulson be trusted? Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, was found to be a Hydra mole and a traitor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and locked up away from the world and his former teammates. But this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him… After being left to die in the middle of the ocean by Ward, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer, and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), genius bio-chemist, found a way to escape their watery grave. But all did not go well for Fitz, who was left in a coma and may never regain his full cognitive functions; a devastating blow to Simmons. And computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet), now a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, discovered her origins as an 0-8-4 -- an object of unknown origin – and that her parents were considered “monsters.” Could Skye have darkness lying dormant inside of her? Also joining Coulson's core team is Lance Hunter (Nick Blood), a dashing mercenary sharp shooter with a quick wit. Since he didn't rise up through the ranks, does he have an ulterior motive for helping out the team?
Who can Coulson trust?

Why are they doing this? Agent Carter? Who cares. Just more superhero tv without any superheroes. Agents of Sheild is a boring show with loose tie ins to the movies. Agent Carter will be boring too. There's a reason kids have never said, "Nick Fury, Agent of Sheild is my favorite comic book!" Marvel- Superheroes are your bread and butter. Quit pushing the most boring aspects of your universe on us. It's annoying. What's next? a show that follows Squirrel Girl? Actually, that would be kind of interesting, because at least she can talk to squirrels(I'm assuming). I say this as a loyal lifelong Marvel fan- watching AoS is a chore. Even worse, it feels like watching someone else do chores. boring ones.

Awesome!! Hell yeah!! been wanting to know this since the beginning of the show. I've been a fan of marvel since the late 70's, early 80's. Always wanted to know what S.H.I.E.L.D. was about and what they did.

Its nice to see its being continued, since while I do enjoy the show, it could be a lot better, especially if it dealt with introducing more things to the MCU.

Hopefully, the next season can give Hawkeye some exposure since he's been out of the picture mostly in the films and would fit well with the series, and hopefully some guest appearances from Mockingbird and Taskmaster and others. I also hope they expand on AIM from Iron Man 3, like give them more evil things to do since they're SHIELD's second biggest opponents.

Agent Carter! Shield has gotten better, but hopefully without the constraints of a real time connection to the movies and Hydra already revealed Carter should be great from the start. Good move Marvel/ABC!

Frankly, it was a chore to get through the first half-dozen episodes of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' until the writers were able to develop some actual human drama amongst the characters. I enjoy the show now, but I don't think it's carrying enough steam to power a 2nd Marvel show through the ratings - especially on the same network. I don't know how much non-superhero Marvel content people would be willing to ingest. 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D' is interesting because it's different from the cinematic hero fare, but add anything on top of that and we're probably reaching the point of over-saturation.

Liked the show from the get go, LOVED it from ep. 6 and on, definitely been on an upwards climb from then on!!!

REALLY REALLY lookin forward to that second season and hope they tease and cameo some more of the kool characters from both the movies & comics, plus PLEASE GIVE US A MAN-THING CAMEO OR NEW MOVIE IT'S DUE FOR A REBOOT!!!

@davidtysonwhite9300 dude! stop hating on the show! a lot of people love it or they wouldn't even be making another season. good to know you have an opinion but keep it to yourself. ever heard the term "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything"?

@terpdx wrong. It has been renewed. I guess you don't read much, you prefer all the action up front and explanation of characters last. I don't understand why people seem to fail and understand that this is about the people "BEHIND THE SCENES, NOT THE HEROES.

@terpdx Personally I think we reached over-saturation a while ago, but yeah, they really just don't have it going strong enough yet. Another thing is that a show based on a team is good, because you have a reoccurring set of characters that are different enough to be interesting, but you put it on a solo act and some of that drama and magi is gone. It's definitely starting to flood in the land of live-action Marvel Television.
